3rd Annual Sacramento Wine & Dine
Sacramento is overflowing with great food and restaurants – even though we’d like to, we can’t try them all. But, we try our best to give you the scoop on all of your great dining options in the city so that, hopefully, after reading our reviews you’re ready and eager to head out and explore with your taste buds.
We all know that being a restaurant explorer can get pretty expensive though. So, how would you feel if we said you could spend one week trying out all of those great restaurants you’ve been dying to go to at a fraction of their normal prices? Yeah, we were pretty excited when we found out, too!
During the 3rd Annual Sacramento Wine & Dine, you can spend seven days dining at your choice of more than 50 top Sacramento restaurants for a great price. From Saturday, July 4th through Sunday, July 12th, restaurants like Grange, Hot Italian and L Wine Lounge will be offering three to four-course dinners paired with Sacramento regional wines – starting at just $30 per person!
Why not head to an old favorite on the list or try somewhere you’ve never been? Either way, we’d love to hear about your experience! For a complete listing of the 50 restaurants being featured visit http://www.sacramentowineanddine.com/.
Tightwad Tuesday: From Taco Tuesday to Pint Night, Paragary’s Does it Right!
Here at SacFoodies, we’re finding that one of the best ways to stay on top of local deals and steals is to subscribe to receive e-newsletters from restaurants/establishments/retailers that you’re fond of.

Tightwad Tuesday: Some Deals are Just Too Good to Pass Up
Sometimes I’m selfish, I’ll admit it. Like when I find a great deal and feel as though it’s such a steal that the secret must be kept, never to be shared to anyone outside of my immediate circle. But these days, everyone could use a tip about a good deal. So I’m shedding my selfish ways and sharing:
KTXL FOX 40 has teamed up with local business to offer amazing deals on gift certificates valued at more than double the buying price!
For example, just visit http://www.ktxl.incentrev.com/ to purchase a $50.00 gift certificate to L Wine Lounge for only $25.00 or a $50.00 gift certificate to Aura for only $16.50. But you’ll have to hurry, because quantities are limited and I may just buy them all myself!
